📝 AITA for thinking doing door dash driving could be a fun hobby?

I'm a 40f. My husband (42) and I moved to a new city about 4 months ago. He has a decent job and I'm and artist... though I haven't made art since moving. We are fine financially without me having a job. It isn't a point of contention between us or anything like that.

That said I am bored and depressed. I would like to get out and do something productive but I have severe social anxiety so volunteering isn't an excellent option for me. With all that in mind I thought that working for door dash could be a good way to get me out of the house, learn my way around this city, find new places to eat etc etc. Maybe even doing something daily would help me get back to painting. I talked to my husband about it and he's supportive of the idea.

Someone else mentioned that it's selfish though for me to take up doing that job if I don't need it financially and it takes opportunity away from people that do.

Idk I was very excited about the idea until then.

AITA?


TLDR; I would like to sign up to deliver for DoorDash for non-financial reasons. Does that make me an asshole?
